$2.25 / each? that's a half days work in 1935; hope you remembered to use Code Word NECHO or at least enclosed some Necco wafers for the special price.

There's a couple sellers on eBay that think just the mounting brackets are made of something worth BIG $$$

Granted these things are rare but I'll take FREE + Shipping ($17.10 Medium Flat-Rate Box USPS) for the complete accessory.

Well they are vintage  so that makes everything more valuable since no one makes vintage stuff today.

Yep, cheaper being a charter member of the CSAoA, and TOMPU. 

[Larry Buskirk]

Guess I should have stated the abbreviations long version. 

 

First there's the CSAoA which is the "Curb Shoppers Association of America"  

Get quite a few parts, and sometimes even complete machines. (Have to beat the "Scrappers" to these.)

 

Then there's TOMPU which is "The Old Machinery Parts Underground" 

Basically, this marvelous Al Gore invention. 

Items acquired through the CSAoA that you don't need can be used for trading purposes for those hard-to-find parts, etc. that you need/want. 

Sometimes you even find things listed for free.

I was wasting a bit of time over on the Vintage Machinery site looking through some early editions of the Deltagrams and found this article in the volume 1 No.2 March 1932 edition. http://www.vintagemachinery.org/pubs/detail.aspx?id=25594

 

What I found was a setup with seven machines ran off of one motor. 

 But the photos in the article failed to show how the drill press was ran. 

I went a few more pages and found. 

Though some of the machines are a bit earlier than mine I could easily substitute my machines for those. 

 

Might have to check with the  "Old Machinery Underground Parts Network"  not sure if I have enough line-shaft hangers. 

I was googling looking for a little info for my next project and I stumbled back here.. You posted some identifiers to figure which model I have I'll go check.. As for the little Donkey shop above.. I am sure that Montgomery Ward marketed a very similar bench..  AND before I forget,, It almost looks like a trackball in one of the pix that has been painted.. What kind of person does that???

If I remember correctly the Montgomery Wards setup was made by Walker-Turner.

If your saw is an 8" Tilty (Tilt-Table) it could go by model numbers 860, or 34-160. Was also sold under the HomeCraft line of Delta tools.

If it's a 10" Tilty it would be an 1160. 

As to the trackball, I have no idea what photo you're looking at mines Graphite.
